Lang & Heyne is an independent German brand founded in 2001 by Marco Lang and Mirko Heyne. Lang apprenticed first as a precision mechanic in a Glashütte metal shop, then later trained under Ihno Fleßner as a watchmaker apprentice. Lang met Heyne, a young watchmaking apprentice, in 2001, and they soon realized their shared commitment to quality and the highest standard in manual skills. The pair soon offered their first watch models, the Friedrich August and the Johann. While Heyne left the brand in 2002, and Lang in 2019, the brand Lang & Heyne continues to operate under the leadership of veteran watchmaker Jens Schneider and remains fully committed to craftsmanship, tradition, and precision.

The Georg wristwatch was released in 2017 as the brand’s first rectangular wristwatch. The name refers to Georg, the “Bearded” Duke of Saxony in the 16th century. The watch was offered in platinum, white gold, and, like the present watch, pink gold. The Georg was well received by the public due to its attractive case design with triple lugs, the white enamel dial with an Art Deco flare, and the outstanding caliber VIII housed within. The rectangular-shaped manual movement has a 55-hour power reserve and unconventional layout with traditional bridges replaced by single-armed bridges holding the gear train in place, giving the caliber an architectural appearance not often seen in other movements.

The present watch, with the prestigious No. 1 serial number, is well-preserved and offered with its original certificate and presentation box. As Lang & Heyne states, the Georg wristwatch demonstrates the beauty of a square case, and with its beautiful white enamel dial and high-grade movement, it’s an outstanding choice for any collector.
